5 Signs You Need to See a Dentist
1. YOU HAVE PAIN: Pain or swelling in your mouth, face or neck can mean a number of things.
2. YOUR GUMS ARE ACTING UP: If your gums are puffy, they bleed when you brush or floss, or have a family history of gum disease, it's time to make an appointment.
3. YOU TRY TO HIDE YOUR SMILE: Whether you're self-conscious about a missing tooth or hoping for a brighter smile, do not be shy about talking to your dentist.
4. YOU'VE HAD WORK DONE: If you have fillings, crowns, dental implants or dentures, see your dentist regularly to make sure everything is in great shape.
5. IT'S TIME FOR YOUR CHECKUP: Even if you don't have any symptoms, checkups are important because they can help prevent problems from developing and treat existing symptoms before they become more advanced.
